Marine Fisheries

Marine fisheries are a type of commercial and recreational fishing that takes place in marine, or saltwater, environments. The practice of marine fisheries involves the harvest of a variety of fish, shellfish, and other edible aquatic organisms. Marine fisheries are essential for providing a sustainable and nutritious source of seafood for human consumption, and they also play an important role in regulating the global ecosystem and the health of the marine environment. Marine fisheries provide livelihoods and jobs for coastal communities and many other people around the world. To ensure the sustainability of marine fisheries, numerous policies, regulations, and management strategies have been put in place.
